@Cherryfudge i would think any onion would do and if no harissa, any chilly powder/flakes. Ms C works at N@ndo@s and i have been dipping it into their new tomato and feta dip. So very good.

@Frugalista, you could always share on Olio when it gets near moving time and you don't want to take your and your friends pantry stock with you! 

Nope, not me!

Still having quite a successful clear out but I can't see any holes yet!!

In the last few days I've used up 2 chicken breasts, beans, mince beef and some tortilla wraps. I also got the kids making flap jacks, so used up a nice pile of oats that have been sitting there for a while. I closed my eyes to the mess!! 

Feeling so much more in control I'm very pleased with myself 😁 have spent about £40 this week on the shop and paid myself £23 for stock used. I think that's all right for a family of 4! I'll need to get some milk, honey and eggs tomorrow but I'll try to just stick to that.

Eating out of stock - spent on Monday and nothing since.

You guys are doing well!

I've put a couple of portions of tikka in the freezer and taken out spinach that I froze pre-holiday, a couple of sausages, some bacon, chicken and liver. The new stash of yogurt is already going down, as is the dried milk that I used to make this batch.

There are blackberries to go in if DH doesn't eat them soon, and I've finished a punnet of blueberries and some honey. I'm going to have to throw out some Brazil nuts that don't taste right. On the plus side, I bought sugar and picked our gooseberries so I can make jam.

In: 2 chicken pies, chicken fajita mix. From a tgtg bag: pack breakfast muffins.
Out: 0
The tgtg bag was a bit ridiculous. £1.99: 6 sandwiches, a loaf of danish bread and the above mentioned breakfast muffins. At least packed lunch for work sorted for next few days! I am very thankful for it though.

I forgot I ordered a veg box as there was a heavy discount for 3 weeks. Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Got a broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes, salad leaves, raspberries, one pepper, courgettes, green beans and some nectarines. I won't need any fruit or veg for my weekly shop now. 

Need to pop out to get some milk, honey and eggs then I think that'll be me done with the shops for a bit (I hope but there is no telling when you are trying to keep up with the kids hunger during the holidays!)
